If you are missing all your teeth, standard dental implants are the best option. However, we realize that budgetary restraints may make that impossible for some families. At approximately half the cost of standard implants, mini dental implants are a useful option for patients on a tight budget. Mini implants were developed to help make the process both less expensive and less complex.

Advantages of Mini Dental Implants
- Because the diameter is so much smaller than traditional implants, the surgery to place them is simpler and therefore less expensive.
- The healing time after surgery is much shorter.
- The implant will halt bone loss at the surgical site, preventing facial collapse.
- They will make your denture more comfortable, more functional, and more stable. Chewing efficiency will improve dramatically.
Disadvantages of Mini Dental Implants
- They cannot be used to stabilize a tooth. They’re function is limited to stabilizing a removable denture.
- They aren’t as sturdy as standard implants, thus they don’t make the denture as secure. However, they are much better than using no implants at all.
